*Edit* I guess I am going to start work on it again
just for the sake of my aunt and the community. Yes I think some of my ships under the best of the best categories should be changed and that you guys are right about a lot of it. I cant really delve into it until after Monday (school work has me boged down) but I will try to fix some of the existing problems.Recent Changes:
Added stats for remaing m5s and have added some final verdicts.
Changed the award for best M6 interceptor from a tie between the Boron Hydra and Dragon to simply the Dragon. The hydra is just soooooo dang cruddy.
Added in best Galaxy trader
Changed Ts best of best: Now a tie between the Dolphin and Demeter
Changed Tp stats (now manta is the best tied with the iguana)
Forward: I have been looking around and I have not been able to find a guide that details which ships are the best for specific jobs. This guide was created by me to help some of those people that want a guide that can tell them which ship is best for which playing style and at the same time, maybe I can decide on some ships in feilds I havent yet encountered in my game. I hope some of you find this useful and I will consider this my contribution to the X Community
which has helped me so much. So without further delay, I present to you the reviews!TS (Small Transport)
Argon Mercury:
Looks: This ship is probably the best looking of the five TS class ships. It looks very human and has a nice design.
Sheilds: 75 MW (This is pretty good and is the max allowed in this class)
Hull: 20000 (Good Hull)
Cargo Capacity: 1800 (This is average for the class and is capable of carrying most hauls)
Speed: 150 m/s (Its good but it will haul the least of any TS in an hour is the worst of the class)
Steering: 23.99%
Acceleration: 12 m/s
Price for the L Model: 654775 cr (Average for the class)
Weapons: One rear slot capable of mounting A-PACs, Ion cannon, or A-PSG but no Mining laser.
Final Verdict: A good ship but as a TS it carries the least amount of cargo for the time it has. Also its inability to mount a Mining laser makes it a weak contestant and ultimately the worst TS. I really want to like this ship because of its looks but I just cant.
Boron Dolphin:
Looks: Despite having the name of the majestic Dolphin, this ship more closely resembles a centipede or, in traditional Boron fashion, should have been named the Sea Slug. One of the ugliest ships in the game.
Sheilds: 75 MW (This is pretty good and is the max allowed in this class)
Hull: 15000 (Average to weak hull)
Cargo Capacity: 3000 (This is the best of the class makes this ship capable of carrying the most goods in a specific amount of time)
Speed: 120 m/s (This is the worst of the class and means that unless you need the entire cargo hold, your better off with a smaller, faster ship)
Steering: 7.49%
Acceleration: 3 m/s
Price for L Model: 716713 cr (Most expensive ship in the class)
Weapons: One rear slot capable of mounting IREs, Ion cannon, or A-PSG. No Mining laser though.
Final Verdict: A great ship for its the sheer size of its cargo hold. This ship is best suited to acting as an overflow container for capital ships or other ships that need a place to put excess goods. It very low speed makes it a sitting duck for factory loops making it impractical for many uses. Also it could have been the best miner but it lacks the ability to mount a mining laser. A good first TS though despite being slow and expensive.
Paranid Demeter:
Looks: This is a good looking ship and has the same rear as the Caiman and the Vulture. No lost points for looks but none gained either.
Sheilds: 75 MW (This is pretty good and is the max allowed in this class)
Hull: 27000 (Very nice hull)
Cargo Capacity: 1665 (A good capacity but its rather low for a TS)
Speed: 175.67 m/s (This is the second best for the class)
Steering: 17.99%
Acceleration: 3 m/s
Price for L Model: 661515 cr (Average for the TS class)
Weapons: This ship has two weapon mounts (One front cannon and one rear turret) and can mount IREs, A-PSGs and an A-PAC on the rear. This ship can also mount the mining laser on the back and front making it unique.
Final Verdict: This ship is probably the best for a Trade Empire who has low to little protection as it is heavily armoured and sheilded and can out run a Nova. This ship also is a capable miner and is a good personal ship.
Pirate Ship:
Looks: This ship is pretty ugly in my opinion. The goofy helmet look of the spaceship just doesnt work for me.
Sheilds: 25 MW (The worst in the class, extremely vulnerable)
Hull: 20000 (Good hull for such a terrible ship)
Cargo Capacity: 1000 (The worst in the class)
Speed: 168.91 m/s (Average but from a ship with so many weaknesses, I would expect more)
Steering: 14.99%
Acceleration: 4 m/s
Price: Cannot be bought, must be captured.
Weapons: The ship has two weapon slots (One front cannon and one rear turret). Both can mount Ion cannons B-PSGs. The front can mount a B-HEPT making this the most heavily armed ship in the class though that means little. Cannot mount the mining laser. Can use Hornet missles!
Final Verdict: This ship is in my opinion, the most useless of the class and can be replaced by any other ship. Is good only to sell or possibly use as an early fighter.
Split Caiman:
Looks: This ship has the same rear section as the Vulture and Demeter. Unfortunatley it has a Split cockpit which looks out of place on the ship especiallly with the goofy red windows.
Sheilds: 50 MW (Pretty weak and it means this ship wont last long against the Khaak)
Hull: 15000 (Average to weak hull)
Cargo Capacity: 1500 (Second worst in the class putting a limit on what it does)
Speed: 189 m/s (Fastest TS there is allowing it to out run ships that dont have engine tunings)
Steering: 11.69%
Acceleration: 8 m/s
Price for L Model: 511258 cr (Cheap)
Weapons: This ship has two weapon mounts (One front cannon and one rear turret). The front can mount a G-IRE and the rear can mount a G-PAC, Mass Driver, Ion Cannon, or mining laser.
Final Verdict: A good ship though it is easily replaced by better ships. The only real reason to use this ship is because its cheap and is fast. Though with such a small cargo hold, you might as well use a Boron Manta.
Teladi Vulture:
Looks: This ship uses the same rear as the Caiman and the Demeter. Its overall appearence is nice and functional.
Sheilds: 50 MW (Pretty weak and it means this ship wont last long against the Khaak)
Hull: 30000 (Strongest Hull in the class)
Cargo Capacity: 2500 (This is a good cargo hold and means that this ship can carry most loads)
Speed: 123.73 m/s (This is very slow and forces one to think hard before choosing this ship)
Steering: 8.99%
Acceleration: 3 m/s
Price for L Model: 483614 cr (Cheapest ship in the class)
Weapons: One rear mounted turret capable of holding a G-IRE, A-PSG, or a mining laser.
Final Verdict: This ships shows itself to be an all around nice ship though its slow speed and weak sheilds force one to think hard before choosing it. It is the cheapest ship though and it can carry a lot making it a great for and empire that's starting out.
The Best TS for the Job
For Storing Equipment: The Boron Dolphin
For Galaxy Trader: The Boron Dolphin
For Running Trade Loops: The Paranid Demeter
For Running a Well Defended Trade Loop: The Split Caiman
For Mining: A tie between the Paranid Demeter and the Teladi Vulture
For Combat: The Pirate Ship
Best All Around TS: A Tie Between The Boron Dolphin and The Paranid Demeter
TP (Personel Transport)
Argon Express:
Looks: The ship is pretty boring in terms of looks as it is the basis for all other TPs and has no frills or any eye candy.
Sheilds: 75 MW (Good sheilding, this ship can take a beating)
Hull: 20000 (Good Hull)
Cargo Capacity: 750 (Average for the class)
Speed: 216 m/s (Slow to average speed for a TP)
Steering: 23.99%
Acceleration: 10 m/s
Price for L Model: 787406 cr (Second cheapest TP there is though probably not worth it.)
Weapons: One rear turret capable of mounting up to B-PACs and an A-PSG.
Final Verdict: This ship is a Manta that has sacraficed 250 units of cargo space to gain an extra sheild. The ship is essentially useless as the Hermes only loses 53 units of cargo space from this one and is much faster and has 75 MWs of sheilding too.
Boron Manta:
Looks: Probably the ugliest TP, it looks like someone took an Argon Express and attached a roll cage to its outside.
Sheilds: 50 MW (Weak sheilding that wont hold out for long)
Hull: 15000 (Average to weak hull)
Cargo Capacity: 1000 (Best cargo hold of the class though if you ever have a job that can fill it, you should probably be using a TS)
Speed: 216.21 m/s (Average to slow for the class)
Steering: 10.99%
Acceleration: 5 m/s
Price for L Model: 741956 cr (Cheapest TP there is)
Weapons: One rear turret capable of mounting up to B-PACs and an Ion cannon.
Final Verdict: This ship is an all around decent ship. It can carry a lot at the cost of speed and sheilding. Never a bad choice for a ship.
Paranid Hermes:
Looks: This is one of the best looking TPs, as it just screams to be flown. It is full of gentle curves and is over all apealling.
Sheilds: 75 MW (Good sheilding, this ship can take a beating)
Hull: 27000 (Very nice hull)
Cargo Capacity: 697 (Average to low for the class)
Speed: 250 m/s (Very good for the class making this the second fastest TP there is)
Steering: 66.59%
Acceleration: 9 m/s
Price for L Model: 853207 cr (Average to high price for a TP)
Weapons: Has one rear turret capable of mounting up to a G-PAC.
Final Verdict: This is probably the best all around TP as it can carry a good amount, Is heavily sheilded, and can out run most ships.
Split Iguana:
Looks: Pretty normal and not as good looking as most Split ships are, it's essentially a Argon Express with two fins attached.
Sheilds: 50 MW (Weak sheilding that wont hold out for long though this ship could probably outrun its attacker)
Hull: 15000 (Average to weak hull)
Cargo Capacity: 450 (The smallest cargo hold of any freighter in the game, and it wont even allow this ship to take on many Passenger Transport missions)
Speed: 308.1 m/s (Very fast for a ship that isnt a Capital ship or an M5)
Steering: 15.19%
Acceleration: 11 m/s
Price for L Model: 846630 cr (Average to high price for a TP)
Weapons: Has 3 three front mounted weapons and one rear turret. All are capable of holding up to G-PACs or Ion cannons.
Final Verdict: This ship is an oddball to say the least. It seems less like a TP and more like a blockade runner. It makes a good choice as a personal ship though it isnt very good at Trade Loops or Passenger missions because of its incredibly small cargo hold. It does however make a good first fighter and personal ship.
Teladi Toucan:
Looks: Probably the best looking of all the TPs, it looks sleek and fast (though it isnt).
Sheilds: 75 MW (Good sheilding, this ship can take a beating)
Hull: 30000 (Strongest Hull in the class)
Cargo Capacity: 900 (Second best cargo hold there is for a TP)
Speed: 180.18 m/s (This is the Toucan's Achilles Heel, the ship is so slow you might as well use a Caiman or Demeter which are almost as fast but carry a lot more)
Steering: 17.99%
Acceleration: 13 m/s
Price for L Model: 864021 cr (Most expensive TP there is though it isnt worth its cost)
Weapons: One rear turret capable of mounting up to B-PACs and an A-PSG.
Final Verdict: The Toucan is so slow it is essentially useless as a TP and can easily be replaced by the faster TS ships.
The Best TP for the Job
For Running Trade Loops: The Paranid Hermes
For Running Well Defended Trade Loops: The Boron Manta
For Transporting Passengers: The Boron Manta
For Combat: The Split Iguana
For a Personal Ship: A tie between the Boron Manta, the Paranid Hermes, and the Split Iguana
Best All Around TP: The Boron Manta (followed closely by the Split Iguana)
TL (Large Transport)
Argon Mammoth:
Looks: The Mammoth looks a lot like a grapling hook on a box but is still a great looking TL. It looks functional and most of all human.
Sheilds: 625 MW (This is only average for this class of ships and will hold for only so long)
Hull: 70000 (This best hull of all the ships and can take a beating)
Cargo Capacity: 21000 (This is the biggest cargo hold of any TL and can hold any station with ease)
Speed: 225.22 m/s (This ship is the slowest of the TLs)
Steering: 2%
Acceleration: 6 m/s
Price: 46288980 cr (This price is the highest of the TLs but you pay for what you get)
Weapons: This ship is equipped with a main gun and 3 turrets. The front gun can hold up to a G-HEPT or a mining laser. The side turrets can mount up to a G-HEPT and the rear turret can mount up to a B-HEPT.
Number of Ships that Can Dock: 12 (Low to Average for this class)
Final Verdict: If you have the money, this is the best TL as it can do its job and do it well.
Boron Orca:
Looks: The Boron Orca is an overall nice looking ship. It is not beautiful but it certainly is appealling.
Sheilds: 625 MW (This is only average for this class of ships and will hold for only so long)
Hull: 43000 (This is the weakest hull of the class)
Cargo Capacity: 17000 (This is a largest cargo hold and can hold any station)
Speed: 247.74 m/s (This is the second fastest TL though is not that much faster than the Mammoth)
Steering: 1.61%
Acceleration: 13 m/s
Price: 26811812 cr (This ships prce is average for the class)
Weapons: This ship is equipped with a main gun and two side turrets. All are capable of holding up to a G-HEPT and the front gun can hold a mining laser.
Number of Ships that Can Dock: 10 (The worst in the class)
Final Verdict: This ship is great if you want to be able to carry any station but dont want spend the cash required for a Mammoth.
Paranid Hercules:
Looks: The Paranid Hercules is now a beautiful ship but it is a nice ship and looks much nicer than its cousin the Odysseus.
Sheilds: 750 MW (This ship as some of the best sheilding in the class)
Hull: 50000 (This is an average hull and can take a beating)
Cargo Capacity: 13000 (This is a relatively small cargo hold and cant hold some stations while others are a tight fit)
Speed: 227.2 m/s (This is one of the slowest ships available)
Steering: 1.61%
Acceleration: 3 m/s
Price: 17073228 cr (This ship is a bargain at this price and is the cheapest in the class)
Weapons: This ship is equipped with a main gun and two side turrets. All a capable of holding up to a G-HEPT and the front gun can hold a mining laser.
Number of Ships that Can Dock: 27 (A good number meaning that this ship can act as a Flagship)
Final Verdict: This ship is often referred to as the poor mans carrier and it is an all around nice ship. Its fun and should be considered even if you can afford the Mammoth.
Split Elephant:
Looks: As far as looks go, the Elephant is lacking. Its design is just too simple and has little eye candy.
Sheilds: 625 MW (This is only average for this class of ships and will hold for only so long)
Hull: 45000 (This is a weak hull and wont survive much)
Cargo Capacity: 11000 (This is the smallest cargo hold of the class and it means that what stations can be carried, will be a tight fit. This is the Achilles heel of this ship)
Speed: 303.67 m/s (This ship is so fast, its a whole 50 m/s faster than the next fastest TL though sometimes its almost too fast)
Steering: 1.7%
Acceleration: 3 m/s
Price: 20319424 cr (This ship is cheap for what you get)
Weapons: This ship has one cannon and one rear turret. The front cannon can mount up to a G-HEPT, Ion cannon, or mining laser. The rear turret can mount up to a B-HEPT.
Number of Ships that Can Dock: 30 (Enough to make this ship a miniature carrier)
Final Verdict: This ship is a miniature carrier and is designed to move ships quickly though it is remarkably bad at what it was meant to do. A fun ship but its not even really a TL.
Teladi Albatross:
Looks: The Albatross is probably the ugliest TL simply because it has two "arms" that reach behind it. This gives the ship an odd, front heavy look.
Sheilds: 750 MW (This ship as some of the best sheilding in the class)
Hull: 65000 (This is the second best hull of the class)
Cargo Capacity: 14000 (The cargo bay is low to average and cant hold the largest stations)
Speed: 234.23 m/s (This ship is low to average in speed)
Steering: 1.86%
Acceleration: 7 m/s
Price: 33304200 cr (A high price to pay for TL that isnt very good at its job)
Weapons: This ship has 7 weapon slots ( 3 turrets on the each side and one cannon on the front). The turrets can hold up to a G-HEPT or an A-PSG. The front cannon can hold up to a G-HEPT or a B-PSG or a mining laser.
Number of Ships that Can Dock: 10 (Worst in the class)
Final Verdict: This ship seems to want to be a destroyer more than a TL with the best sheilding/hull combination and the most weapons. Unfortunatley its not a very good carrier or a very good station mover. I wanted to like this ship but its ugly and has a small docking bay and cargo hold.
The Best TL for the Job
For Carrying and Deploying Stations: The Argon Mammoth
For Acting as a Carrier Substitue: A tie between the Paranid Hercules and the Split Elephant
Personal Flagship: Paranid Hercules
For Combat: Teladi Albatross
Honorable Mention: The Boron Orca (Can carry any station but costs half as much as the Argon Mammoth)
All Around Best TL: A tie Between the Paranid Hercules (Followed closely by the Argon Mammoth)
M6 (Corvette):
Argon Centaur:
Looks: The Centaur is a visually apealling ship though its looks are in the standard Argon utilitarian style.
Sheilds: 250 MW (Average for this class)
Hull: 30000 (Average for this class)
Cargo Capacity: 1250 (This is a good sized cargo hold for this class)
Speed: 207.2 m/s (This ship isn't terribly fast but it will get there)
Steering: 10.49%
Acceleration: 12 m/s
Price: 7058524 cr (Good and cheap, this ship is a bargain at this price)
Weapons: This ship has 4 weapon slots (Two turrets and two front cannons). The two front cannons can mount up to a G-HEPT or Mass Driver while the two turrets (Top and Bottom) can mount up to a B-HEPT or Mass Drivers.
Final Verdict: This ship is all around good ship and is great for OOS defence.
Boron Hydra:
Looks: Probably the ugliest of the M6s, this ship has plating across it and looks rather strange.
Sheilds: 250 MW (Average for this class)
Hull: 25000 (This is the worst hull in this class)
Cargo Capacity: 1500 (Tied with the Osprey for best cargo hold)
Speed: 302.7 m/s(This ship is fast enough to catch almost anything)
Steering: 5.99%
Acceleration: 18 m/s
Price: 9923224 cr (Astronomical for what little you get)
Weapons: This ship has two weapon slots (One front cannon and one rear turret). The front cannon can mount up to a G-HEPT or an Ion cannon. The rear turret can mount up to a B-HEPT or an A-PSG.
Final Verdict: Not worth the astronomical price tag. Its only real skill is as a Interceptor but unless help arrives, it wont survive.
Paranid Nemesis:
Looks: The Nemesis is an fine looking ship though it won't win any awards for beauty.
Sheilds: 250 MW (Average for this class)
Hull: 36000 (This is a good hull and can take a beating)
Cargo Capacity: 413 (Worst cargo hold in the class; makes this ship useless for long journies)
Speed: 250 m/s (This is a relatively fast corvette)
Steering: 11.89%
Acceleration: 9 m/s
Price: 8479448 cr (An average price for a corvette)
Weapons: This ship has three weapon slots (One front cannon and two turrets). The front cannon can mount up to a G-HEPT or a G-PSG. The rear and top turret can mount up to a B-HEPT or a B-PSG.
Final Verdict: This ship is good only for its G-PSG which allows it to destroy many capital ships with a bit of skill but otherwise it is useless. It loses all power in friendly sectors.
Split Dragon:
Looks: This is one of the neatest looking ships in the game and except for the red window, I love it.
Sheilds: 125 MW (This ship has the worst sheilding of the class and prevents this from being a truly great OOS defender)
Hull: 30000 (An average hull)
Cargo Capacity: 875 (This is a small to average sized cargo bay)
Speed: 324.32 m/s (This ship is super sonic at these speeds)
Steering: 17.54%
Acceleration: 24 m/s
Price: 6195296 cr (An absolute bargain for what you get)
Weapons: This ship has five weapon slots (Four turret cannons and one frontal cannon). The front cannon can mount up to a G-HEPT or even an A-PPC though its better off with a G-HEPT. The Dragon has two turrets (Top and Bottom) each armed with two guns that can hold up to G-HEPTs. All cannons can mount the mass driver.
Final Verdict: This ship is an absolutley wonderful ship in the hands of a capable pilot and makes a great personal ship but comes up short in OOS because of its weak sheilding.
Teladi Osprey:
Looks: The Osprey is a visually pleasing ship and is the only Teladi design to actually resemble a bird.
Sheilds: 375 MW (This ship has incredible sheilding for a ship its size)
Hull: 45000 (An incredibly thick hull)
Cargo Capacity: 1500 (This is a large cargo bay for the class)
Speed: 171.17 m/s (This is the Achilles heel in what could have been a tremendously powerful ship as the ship is slower than most M3s)
Steering: 14.5%
Acceleration: 15 m/s
Price: 8957741 cr (This is a high price but you get what you pay for)
Weapons: The Osprey has a total of six weapon mounts
(Two front cannons and 4 turret cannons). The two front cannons can mount up to G-HEPTs or B-PSGs. The Top and Bottom turret can each mount up to G-HEPTs. The rear turret has two cannons, both able to mount up to B-HEPTs or B-PSGs.Final Verdict: This ship is a work of art. It essentially a miniature destroyer with its incredible defence and offence. It makes a good choice for a strong fleet ship or even an OOS defence shipas it is only 30 m/s slower than the Argon Centaur.
The Best M6 For the Job
For OOS Defence: The Argon Centaur (Followed closely behind by the Teladi Osprey)
For Capital Ship Combat: The Paranid Nemesis (Followed closely by the Teladi Osprey)
For Intercepting: The Split Dragon
For a Personal Flagship: A tie between the Teladi Osprey and the Split Dragon
Best All Around M6: The Teladi Osprey
M5 (Scout Ship):
Argon Discoverer:
Looks: The Argon Discoverer is a nice looking ship and looks ready for combat despite its small size.
Sheilds: 3 MW ()
Hull: 750 ()
Cargo Capacity: 50 ()
Speed: 490.27 m/s ()
Steering: 150%
Acceleration: 11 m/s
Price for L Model: 60469 cr ()
Weapons: This ship has two cannons each capable of mounting up to a G-IRE.
Final Verdict:
Boron Octopus:
Looks: This ship is an interesting ship to look at. Its strange shape is in a way pleasing to the eye and adds to the overall apeal of this ship.
Sheilds: 2 MW ()
Hull: 500 ()
Cargo Capacity: 15 ()
Speed: 540.54 m/s ()
Steering: 681.99%
Acceleration: 184 m/s
Price for L Model: 69286 cr ()
Weapons: This ship is capable of mounting up to three B-IREs.
Final Verdict:
Paranid Pegasus:
Looks: This ship looks as though its engines folded themselves under the cockpit and causes the ship to look off balanced and strange.
Sheilds: 3 MW ()
Hull: 333 ()
Cargo Capacity: 10 ()
Speed: 1009.6 m/s ()
Steering: 200%
Acceleration: 45 m/s
Price for L Model: 75456 cr ()
Weapons: This ship has two front mounted B-IREs.
Final Verdict:
Pirate Mandalay:
Looks: This ship is probably the most interesting looking M5 simply because it resembles a helmet. Its not pretty but not horribly ugly either.
Sheilds: 4 MW ()
Hull: 1000 ()
Cargo Capacity: 90 ()
Speed: 260.18 m/s ()
Steering: 75.74%
Acceleration: 27 m/s
Price: Cannot be bought, must be captured.
Weapons: This ship has two cannons capable of mounting up to B-PACs or A-PSGs.
Final Verdict:
Split Jaguar:
Looks: The Split Jaguar is a sleek and menacing looking fighter that has an inherant coolness that screams for it to be flown to the limits.
Sheilds: 2 MW ()
Hull: 750 ()
Cargo Capacity: 30 ()
Speed: 540.54 m/s ()
Steering: 117.99%
Acceleration: 49 m/s
Price for L Model: 64969 cr ()
Weapons: The ship has two cannons and each can mount up to an A-PAC.
Final Verdict: This ship follows usual Split designs and is lightly armored, fast, and heavily armed. I can only recommend it if you intennd to pilot it yourself as it will be obliterated in the hands of the AI.
Teladi Harrier:
Looks: The Teladi Harrier is a fast looking ship that looks like it was the result of some serious engineering.
Sheilds: 5 MW ()
Hull: 1500 ()
Cargo Capacity: 104 ()
Speed: 349.54 m/s ()
Steering: 89.99%
Acceleration: 60 m/s
Price for L Model: 129429 cr ()
Weapons: This ship has two cannons and is capable of mounting up to A-PACs.
Final Verdict: This ship is the tank of the class. It is slow and powerful (for an M5). If you are thinking about making squadrons then this ship probably has the best chances of surviving (next to the Pegasus but thats only cause you can catch the darn thing).
Xenon N:
Looks: The Xenon N, in traditional Xenon fashion, looks like a bunch of old ship parts to make a ship. In the Rogue Squadron books they called these kinds of ships Uglies and I think that name can apply to the N.
Sheilds: 5 MW ()
Hull: 1500 ()
Cargo Capacity: 62 ()
Speed: 464.18 m/s ()
Steering: 301.98%
Acceleration: 16 m/s
Price: Cannot be bought, must be captured. ()
Weapons: This ship is capable of mounting up to two GIREs
Final Verdict: This is one of the two tanks along with the Teladi Harrier. It is a nice ship for early on in the game though the harrier is probably better for combat.
Khaak Scout:
Looks: The image of the Khaak ships is forever engrained in my head as being the gayest looking ship ever... literally. Its a bunch of purple triangles fused together so I can only imagine that the Khaak have only one sex or are blind.
Sheilds: 3 MW ()
Hull: 1000 ()
Cargo Capacity: 27 ()
Speed: 570 m/s ()
Steering: 157.48%
Acceleration: 38 m/s
Price: Cannot be bought, must be captured.
Weapons: This ship can mount one A Kyon cannon.
Final Verdict: This is a very deadly ship (when fighting other M5s) and should not be underestimated. If you can capture it with its weapons then you should probably keep it. Just make sure you dont find any homophobic aliens though.
Credits
Nearly all of the statistics were ripped straight out of the Argonopedia so I am not going to deny that. They are an incredible resource for everything X but I like to think of this as the express version of the argonopedia. All other thanks goes to the community who has always been there for me though none of you probably know me. (I tend to watch more than speak when it comes to forums). Finally, the evaluations and this post were all done by me. Go ahead and steal anything out of this that you want. If you do you should probably mention Argonopedia though unless it was just my opinions.
Special Read-me
I began creating this back in July when my dear aunt was on her deathbed (she had fought valiantly for 12 years but after it went to the brain, it wore on her until she decided to end the treatment and died peacefully one night). I was doing this to keep my mind off of the things that were happening around me but I keep finding this compiliation on my Flashdrive and I keep telling myself Ill finish it (the memory of her is just too strong right now to continue). But she was one of the few people who always believed in me in the darker years of my life (I suffered from severe depression to the point that I was unable to function) and I know she would tell me to go for it so here it is. It comes as is and maybe down the line I will finish it. But for now it is as is and if someone would like to complete it for me in the same fashion I have done so far.
